Gatherings Kitchen

Gatherings Kitchen is passionate about good food and good relationships, bringing people together and creating something spectacular for or with them! For the last year and a half, there has not been much opportunity for “gathering,” but thanks to your continued and generous support, our company has made it out on the other side. However, this experience has provided time for reflection and evaluation.

We are announcing a brief summer break.

During this time, we will:

• Not be accepting new catering orders.
• Pausing Gatherings to Go weekly meals.
• Pausing Supper Club events.

This time will be used to refresh our services and plan for an entirely new offering from Gatherings Kitchen. One thing is for sure, Gatherings Kitchen is where meals and memories are made. Our team is passionate about the end result: both in the dish and in your experience.

We will be checking phone messages and email during this time. We’d love to hear from you.

Stay tuned for fall announcements, and follow us on Instagram (gatheringskitchen) and Facebook (GatheringsKitchen) for updates during this summer break!

For your catering needs during this time, we recommend these preferred vendors:

• Bob Sferra, Culinary Occasions
• Mike Smith, THYME Catering Co.
• Chris Kafcsak, Nomad Culinary, LLC
• Pamela Cole, Duet Catering
